learning some important life lessons from magical Negroes

On my next paycheck, I'm buying some JDM-spec rear taillights to get rid of that ugly bulge that the NA 6s taillights come with.
 
I just bought a 1993 300ZX 2+2. It only had 29,000 miles on it. I've been trying to get one for a long time now that was in good condition and had low milage and no problems. Now I just need to get it detailed then I'll post pics :-P

Actually, here's a picture of it head on:

I just got a Ford Pinto. The car looks hot, smoking even. I had a friend tell me it was "da bomb". I still couldn't believe the amazing deal I got for it. I have to pick it up tomarrow. It should be a blast!!!
 
1997 Honda Accord Special Edition. I bought this baby 2 yearss ago with 120k miles on it. Put in a brand new transmission after my old one died on me and I was stuck on the Bay Bridge for an hour.

On my next paycheck, I'm buying some gas to get rid of that low fuel light that's been blinking in my face for a week.

Oh wow, that is one hell of a catch. What are you planning to do with it? Insurance must suck.

Insurance sucks yeah but oh well. I've wanted a 90's style 300zx for a LONG time now. The car I was driving as my main car before this one is a 1986 300zx. I plan to fix it up and get it purring along. Same thing with the 1993 300zx. Going to try to get them both into stock pristine shape as much as possible.

I love Z's. They're the only cars I've ever owned. My first car was a 1979 280zx :)

Someone should make a show off your shoes thread.
You could visit the Men's Fashion Age thread. Lots of silly shoes in there. I think that thread should be renamed "Gay Men's Fashion Age thread" though. I can't imagine many heterosexual men wearing those clothes... They're a bit too feminine.
 
I have a feeling this thread is going to be full of the kind of wankery that I wish I could be part of... I'll post pictures of my 1995 Mercury Tracer and my 2001 Chevy Cavi tomorrow.

Nothing overly impressive but I figure I'll show off what I have... I hope there's room for both the good and the bad!
 
Here's my first car. Sorta went over the top with it being my first car. Never had any plans for it but my friend wanted to learn to paint cars and we started with mine which turned out pretty good over the fading yellow it originally had. Then we added some vinyls for kicks and then some ebay rims all together for pretty cheap. In the end, driving it was like being an attention whore and I grew out of it. Plus engine mods that I was gonna do next were too expensive so I sold it.

With half of the money I stumbled upon this great deal of a car. Another Toyota and it was 3 years older than my 94 Celica but man...this thing is a fucking beast. Rear wheel drive, twin turbo, 300hp and to top it off very luxurious. And its a right hand drive so took a bit getting used to. In the spring I'm probably gonna paint it black. Don't like the tan color and it looks better in black from what I've seen.

In high school I had a Town and Country LXi minivan with green ground effects. Surely there must be a picture of it somewhere at home...I gotta ask my dad about that

- Infiniti Q45 caliper upgrade
- Stainless steel brake lines all around
- Hawk HPS pads
- Tein S-tech springs / KYB AGX shocks
- Rear sway bar
- Front strut tower bar
- Stage 2 subframe connectors
- 18x7.5 Exel E-2 wheels / Falken Ziex 912 A/S tires

My latest mod is the Pioneer AVIC-F90bt nav unit. The mod that im most proud of are my headlamps. I retrofitted a pair of TSX projectors into my own headlamps.
 
I love my Classic Mark 2 'Eurostyled' VW Polo.

Its a beast, been offered loads for it and turned it down, battered the hell out of it to, it's just so much fun.
